INJURED CUTENESS

2 years ago, a movie was named as one of the worst films that time but it made a huge amount of dough. I read it earned around $350M worldwide. So the chipmunk phenomenon must be real then? I've seen that movie and I think that it was really made for the children who don't mind about an award-winning script. When I was still a kid, I was such a huge fan of the TV series called “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. When the wide screen version was released, I reviewed it as “a movie just for kids”.The sequels remains echt again to the first movie. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is still a mindless/ fun movie for the youngsters. For their stupid entertainment!


FILM PREMISE: Dave ends up in a body cast in a Paris hospital after a giant similitude of Alvin, the prankish one, takes him out during a Chipmunks concert as part of their world tour.Alvin, Simon and Theodore are forced to return to Los Angeles on their own to be looked after by a video-game playing but kind cousin named Toby. Once home, the three brothers -- now world-famous pop stars -- enroll in high school where their singing spot at a benefit to save the school's music program is challenged by an equally adorable female chipmunk sister singing trio known as the Chipettes. Making matters worse, the Chipettes are managed by the 'Munks former manager and now nemesis, Ian Hawke.





Here's the real thing: if you've seen the first movie and enjoyed it then you will love this sequel more. It's still the same. Same old tired jokes about people getting hurt and you should laugh on it! The movie terribly fails on its script. It's nonsense. Alvin and his brothers are attending high school now with the humans. They are playing football with them. On the animated series, this was OK but in the movie it's baloney for chip's sake! C'mon, you gotta be kidding me! Then these cute jocks are so jealous with them. C'mon, this is fuckin' bunk! Yeah, the school plot may look funny for the 6-year olds and below but for the adults it is quiet wrenching. Like huh? There is a love story actually but nah.... I'd rather forget it.







Despite of the atrocious script, the chipmunks are insanely cute. The movie has a magnificent animation honestly. These computer animated chimpmunks seem real to me! I love the Chippetes! If this movie only features songs like it's just a concert movie then I would probably love the entire thing. The movie is only exciting if the chipmunks and the chippetes are singing and dancing. That's it! The musical numbers are the only saving grace of this movie. Without the sped-up rendition of “Single Ladies” and “Put Your Records On”, this will definitely goin' to the garbage bin!




I still don't get it why they hired big names in Hollywood for the voices of these chipmunks. Alvin, Simon and Theodore are the voices of Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney. But can you recognize them? Not at all. The Chipettes are the voices of Amy Poehler, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate. Same point. What's the use of these famous people if their voices are all sped up to chipmunk voice? Why not hire ordinary people instead for the voices and use the extra money to hire some good writers out there and create a Pixar quality script???!!!! Jason Lee reprises his role as Dave Seville but he's mostly hospitalized in the movie so he does nothing actually. Oh yeah, the infamous scream : ALVIINNNNNN!!! is still audible from him. Ian Hawke manages to steal some laughs once again. Zachary Levi is the weakest link in the film as the stand-in for Jason Lee.







The bottom line is that there’s a lot of parents that will shake their heads on this movie. They have no volition but to accompany their kids who will definitely love this. The target audience here are the little kids below 7 years old. I just hope that kids today are nifty enough to nitpick the worst movies specifically made for them. This sequel is horrendous but it is also inevitable that kids won't mind at all. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, unfortunately, is really amusing for them. But not for me.
